Answer
The cut is 4.7 inches long.
Work Step by Step
To express the length of the cut in inches, we need to multiply it by the ratio that converts centimeters to inches.
The ratio that converts centimeters to inches is: $\frac{0..393\ inch}{1\ centimeter}$.
So, 12 centimeter $\times$ $\frac{0.393\ inch}{1\ centimeter}$ =
12 $\times$ 0.393 inch=
4.7 inches
The cut is 4.7 inches long.
